I missed this when it first was posted. I knew MasterTank1 in the mid-'70s when he lived in New York. I visited him in his Lower East Side apartment and we exchanged stories. (At that time he tipped the scales at over 400 pounds, hence "Tank".) Just a couple of years later, at a time when there was NOTHING on tickling, he wrote a great article on tickling for a magazine called Brut, under his real name. I always followed his writing at TMF. I often wondered about what happened to him, and, alas, now I know.
